North Franklin- James Semmelrock

March 16, 1961-February 3, 2019

James “Jim” Semmelrock, 57 of North Franklin passed away to the other side on Sunday unexpectedly.

Jim was born in Norwich, March 16, 1961 a son of the late Robert and Jeannette Semmelrock. Surviving are daughter Jessica Semmelrock of Hanover, son Daniel Semmelrock of Lisbon and loved one Ann Folan of North Windham.

Jim will always be known for being a soft hearted and strong man. He would give his shirt off his back for you when needed. All his life he has explored the spiritual side of life and was always a phone call away for anyone. He would give you as many answers as spirit would let him. He loved being outdoors, he was outdoors for most of his life.

He spent 29 years working for the City of Norwich between Mohegan Park, Public Utilities and simply doing landscaping for family and friends. Jim had countless memories of his life he would share with everyone in passing. He loved talking about how proud he was as a father to his beautiful children.

Also surviving are his brothers Edward (Lynn) Semmelrock of North Franklin, Bruce (Eva) Semmelrock of Bozrah and Michael (Nancy) Semmelrock of Eastford. His niece and nephews Christy Lynn, Joseph, Andrew and Krista.

There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, February 16, 2019 at the Moose Lodge, 115 Fitchville Rd, Bozrah, CT 06334 starting at noon with a bonfire to follow.

I remember being at Ed's house and seeing my brother Zack, Ed, my dad Jason, and Jim all together. The chemistry and love between them was so visible. Jim will be missed. I'm praying for him and his family.

Jim is a kind and generous man. I met him years ago, every time we talked he just had a way of making you feel better. Great sense of humor and a very compassionate way about him. He will be missed.
